    Chrishell Stause and G Flip Steal the Spotlight at Dodgers Pride Night With Love and Lyrics

    Chrishell Stause and G Flip brought queer joy and a kiss-cam-worthy moment to centerfield at the Los Angeles Dodgers Pride Night, where the couple celebrated community, visibility and each other. Their PDA-packed appearance wasn’t just a show of affection, it was a celebration of love and unapologetic self-expression.

    While G Flip rides high on their new era of music (think disco cowgirl meets queer line dancing), it was their moment at Pride Night with Chrishell that had fans buzzing across the internet.

    Love on the Field

    The “Selling Sunset” star and the Aussie pop-punk cowboi made their affection loud and clear with a string of photos from the Dodgers’ annual Pride Night, which took place June 14. In snapshots posted Thursday, the couple shared kisses and grins on the field, surrounded by friends, fans and a glowing rainbow-lit stadium.

    Chrishell made sure to give a nod to GLAAD in her post and shared a message from the Dodgers highlighting their commitment to inclusivity, even noting the organization’s pushback against federal agents attempting to access the stadium’s parking lots. It was clear her Pride post had extra punch.

    A Weekend of Pride and Power Suits

    Before hitting the stadium, Chrishell turned heads at the L.A. Pride Parade in a dazzling pink sequin mini, giving full “Barbiecore realness meets real estate mogul” energy. Meanwhile, G Flip was riding the momentum of their latest music drop, performing “Big Ol’ Hammer,” a cheeky, sapphic country-pop anthem, across Europe and Pride events throughout the month.

    G Flip’s Big Ol’ Gay Era

    In true Yeehaw Agenda fashion, G Flip’s newest single, “Big Ol’ Hammer,” is an ode to gender euphoria, sapphic swagger and unapologetic queerness. Lyrics like “I can be any size that you like” are campy, confident and made to be screamed in a crowd of fans waving fans, bandanas and cowboy hats.

    The music video, inspired by Grease Lightnin’, is set in a sweaty auto shop packed with queer icons like The L Word: Generation Q’s Jacqueline Toboni and comedian Fortune Feimster, all grinding, wrench-turning, and body-rolling in perfect choreography.

    For G Flip, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, the project represents a joyful rebellion.

    Mighty Hoopla and a Mighty Cry

    G Flip’s recent performance at Mighty Hoopla in London brought the crowd, and the artist to tears. Despite not playing the main stage, they were stunned by the sea of fans screaming their name and waving their arms to a track that hadn’t even been released.

    “I’m really soft, and cry really easily,” they said. “When everyone cheers your name non-stop… my eyes water and then I cry.”

    The crowd felt like a queer utopia, a contrast to the harsh realities trans and non-binary people face daily. That visibility, they stressed, is vital.

    “I never had that representation when I was growing up,” they said. “So I always want to be that for other people.”

    Fan Reactions

    On social media, fans flooded Chrishell’s and G Flip’s comment sections with hearts, flames and cries of “Such a beautiful couple. Happy pride babes!” One fan commented, “Keep living life with beautiful happiness.” Another wrote, “You two are the CUTEST!!”

    A Queer Home Run

    From choreographed grease-stained dance numbers to a full-on makeout sesh at a baseball game, Chrishell and G Flip are redefining what queer joy looks like in public spaces. And if their Pride month plans are any indication, the rest of us are just lucky to be watching from the bleachers.

  • Peacock’s ‘The Traitors’ Brings Club Cumming to WeHo Pride with Glam, Gags, and Drag Drama

    Peacock’s ‘The Traitors’ Brings Club Cumming to WeHo Pride with Glam, Gags, and Drag Drama

    Peacock’s The Traitors wasn’t about to let WeHo Pride pass without a bit of deceit and a whole lot of fabulous. The Emmy-winning reality series descended upon the rainbow-filled weekend with an unforgettable celebration that combined fierce fanfare, surprise guests, and the first-ever Los Angeles pop-up of Club Cumming, Alan Cumming’s iconic New York nightlife haunt.

    Hosted on Saturday, May 31, The Traitors’ takeover of The Abbey served drag drama, themed cocktails, and enough castle-core chic to make even the cloaked figures proud. And yes, there were actually cloaked actors amongst the crowd to really ensure you felt like you were transported to the gorgeous Scottish manor yourself.

    A Star-Studded, Sass-Filled Drag Brunch

    The main event? A Traitors-inspired drag brunch that transformed the legendary West Hollywood venue into a Highland fantasy, complete with dramatic lighting, velvet-draped photo ops, and cocktails with names like “Faithful’s Fizz” and “Bloody Backstabber.”

    Reality royalty and cast favorites Chrishell Stause, Bob the Drag Queen, Parvati Shallow, Bob Harper, and Sam Asghari were in the mix, mingling with fans and fellow celebs alike. Anna Kendrick, Taylor Owen, Chrissie Fit, and Chris Appleton were also spotted gagging over the shenanigans—cloaks optional but encouraged.

    The Parade Marches On (with Bagpipes and Betrayal)

    The celebration didn’t stop at the brunch buffet. On Sunday, June 1, The Traitors crew joined the WeHo Pride parade in full regalia. Think dramatic capes, stoic stares, and a full bagpipe contingent strutting down Santa Monica Boulevard. The result? A fabulous fusion of Scottish mystery and LGBTQ+ pride that had paradegoers living for every treacherous beat.

    A Winning Streak for the Traitors

    The Pride festivities come on the heels of a banner season for The Traitors. The show recently dominated the Critics Choice Real TV Awards, picking up three major wins: Best Competition Series, Best Ensemble Cast in an Unscripted Series, and Best Show Host for the ever-dapper Alan Cumming.

    Not to be outdone, Dylan Efron scored a Male Star of the Year nomination, while Gabby Windey landed a nod for Female Star of the Year. Proof that backstabbing pays off, at least when it’s on reality TV.

    About ‘The Traitors’

    If you haven’t been properly betrayed yet, here’s the setup: The Traitors is a high-stakes psychological reality series set in a moody Scottish castle where famous faces and fierce competitors face off in a twisted murder mystery game.

    Contestants work together to build a cash prize, but among them are Traitors, secret saboteurs who “murder” their cast mates by night and manipulate the group by day. If the Faithful sniff out the Traitors, they split the prize. If not, the Traitors take it all. Let the paranoia begin.

    Pride, Paranoia, and Pop-Up Parties

    Peacock’s WeHo Pride event wasn’t just a party, it was a celebration of queer joy, inclusion, and a fandom that knows how to spot a liar from a mile away. Whether you’re Faithful or just pretending to be, one thing’s clear: The Traitors is here to slay—on screen and on the parade route.

    Stause noted ‘I’m actually going to be able to join them on tour for a little bit coming up,’ She admitted to Gayety. “I’ve never been to any of those places and it falls on a time when I’m off work, so I’m really excited about that. But then I have to go back to work.”

    The real estate agent and television star stated, “There’s some real cool edge to it. And so we were trying to think of a look that embodied that, but also that G would really love because they never changed their hair before. So obviously Chris Appleton being the hair master and he’s one of our best friends. So he knew. I was like, “You’re in good hands. It’s going to be amazing.”

    Stause continues to be a prominent figure on Netflix’s “Selling Sunset,” with new episodes slated for release later this year.

  • Chrishell Stause Calls Out Bre Tiesi Over MAGA Post and Slur Against Partner G Flip in ‘Selling Sunset’ Feud

    Chrishell Stause Calls Out Bre Tiesi Over MAGA Post and Slur Against Partner G Flip in ‘Selling Sunset’ Feud

    Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause is once again speaking out in defense of her partner, Australian musician G Flip, amid a swirl of social media controversy and behind-the-scenes tension with her castmates.

    In a series of Instagram Stories posted last week, Stause called out fellow cast member Bre Tiesi for promoting a politically charged brand and for allegedly using an outdated and offensive term to refer to G Flip, who is nonbinary.

    “Some people are GREAT for TV, but when it comes to talking about our real issues (using slurs etc), they tend to be cut,” Stause wrote over a screenshot of a promotional post by Tiesi for a company called MAGA Bracelets. “So use this as a guideline when you watch season 9.”

    Photo: Instagram (@chrishell.stause)
    Photo: Instagram (@chrishell.stause)

    The MAGA Bracelets brand, according to promotional materials, markets itself as selling “patriotic conservative jewelry.” Tiesi has since apologized, claiming she was unaware of the affiliation and stating in an Instagram Story, “I am far from MAGA” and “I cannot apologize enough for the oversight here.”

    Photo: Instagram (@bre_tiesi)
    Photo: Instagram (@bre_tiesi)

    Influencer Jennifer Stano also came to Tiesi’s defense, explaining that Tiesi had been sent an evil eye bracelet from a company called Lavara Verse and that the promotional material included a card from a related brand — MAGA Bracelets — without Tiesi’s knowledge of the connection.

    Despite the apology, the controversy didn’t end there. Stause continued addressing the issue on her Instagram, pointing to a People report from April 2024 that detailed a lawsuit involving Tiesi and three former employees. The suit accuses Tiesi of “emotional distress, loss of earnings, and loss of employment benefits,” with the plaintiffs claiming they were “harassed, discriminated against, and/or retaliated against on the basis of their sex, gender, and/or sexual orientation.”

    Tiesi has denied all allegations made in the suit.

    Stause emphasized that her concerns go beyond politics. “Finding out how she referred to my partner will not make the show, but no this is not just a political thing to those saying that,” she wrote.

    Photo: Instagram (@chrishell.stause)
    Photo: Instagram (@chrishell.stause)

    Stause added that production limitations due to the lawsuit forced cast members to “tiptoe around the real issues while filming.”

    She later shared the dictionary definition of the word “transvestite,” labeling it an “outdated and often considered offensive term.”

    Photo: Instagram (@chrishell.stause)
    Photo: Instagram (@chrishell.stause)

    “Not my job to teach her that this term is EXTREMELY outdated, but here’s a free education,” she wrote. “And if my partner WAS trans, they are not, I would happily love them exactly the same. GTFOH. Someone take my phone.”

    G Flip, who began dating Stause in 2022 following her split from Selling Sunset co-star Jason Oppenheim, identifies as nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. While some nonbinary individuals identify as transgender, others do not.

    This incident isn’t the first time Stause has had to advocate for her partner’s identity on the show. During a 2023 episode, she corrected castmate Marie-Lou Nurk, who misgendered G Flip by using “she/her” pronouns.

    “Okay, my partner is nonbinary, they use they/them pronouns, this is a simple thing,” Stause told Nurk on camera.

    She also addressed tension with Nicole Young during the Season 7 reunion episode. Stause accused Young of liking an Instagram comment that read, “I was hoping the lesbian chick was off in Australia this season and not on our screens.”

    “First of all, say whatever you want about me, I’m a tough bitch,” Stause told Young during the reunion. “But don’t go after my partner. Ever.”

    “Listen, I will own it. I’ve been a bitch to you. I hate you. I own it… If you’re gonna literally go to homophobic people and cheer them on because they hate me for that reason, that is hate, Nicole.”

    While Netflix has yet to officially announce a ninth season of Selling Sunset, Stause and several cast members have confirmed that filming has already taken place.

    Gabby Windey is The Exact Lesbian Icon We Needed on ‘The Traitors’

    Gabby Windey’s rise from an ER nurse and NFL cheerleader to a reality TV star and LGBTQ+ icon has been nothing short of remarkable. With her deadpan humor and candid personality, she has captured the attention of audiences everywhere, particularly on TikTok, where she has amassed more than 750,000 followers. Her content often includes biting jokes about men, the Y chromosome, and her thoughts on how lesbians are “taking over the world,” making her a standout voice in the LGBTQ+ community.

    In one of her viral TikToks, Windey quips: “They say I need rescuing. Why? Because I’m gaaaAAYY? Well, no buoy, no life alert is going to save me. No, I want to stay stranded on the island of Lesbos. Nobody can save me from this rug-munching tree.” Her mix of humor, defiance, and unapologetic confidence has made her a beloved figure in the queer community.

    Now, Windey is a key player on the reality competition show The Traitors, where she has quickly become one of the fan favorites. Though she was initially flying under the radar, she is now one of the last contestants vying for the $250,000 prize. The show has been filled with both beloved reality TV personalities like Bob the Drag Queen and controversial figures like Tom Sandoval. But for many, it’s Windey who has stood out as the show’s shining queer star.

    The Reality TV Journey

    Windey’s entry into the world of reality TV began on The Bachelor season 26, where she gained recognition for making it to the top three before rejecting the bachelor’s final rose. She made waves after the breakup, slamming her ex during their public fallout, a moment that resonated with viewers.

Following her stint on The Bachelorette, Windey competed in Dancing with the Stars, finishing in second place.

    Windey Comes Out as Queer

    Windey’s most significant personal revelation came in August 2023 when she came out as queer during an appearance on The View. Windey explained that her attraction to women had always been “a whisper that got louder and louder,” but navigating the shame and confusion around her sexuality was a struggle.

    “I think when this happens, there’s some shame surrounding it,” she admitted. “I didn’t really know to pay attention to it, but ultimately, I just want to do me, figure it out later.” When asked by host Joy Behar if she’s only interested in women now, Windey responded with a heartwarming answer: “I think so. I think it’s just my girl, she’s the best.”

    Gabby Windey’s Relationship with Robby Hoffman

    Windey’s relationship with queer comedian and writer Robby Hoffman has become one of the most talked-about aspects of her personal life. The two went public with their romance in August 2023 and celebrated their first anniversary in May 2024. Windey shared that the couple moved in together in September 2024 and often posts sweet messages about each other on Instagram.

    Hoffman, a former Hasidic Jew turned stand-up comic, has made a name for herself in the comedy world, writing for popular shows like Workin’ Moms and Baroness Von Sketch Show. Hoffman is also working on a comedy project based on her life, titled Rivkah, Cosmoreports, which is set to be produced by Showtime and A24.

    Windey’s Success on The Traitors

    Windey has made it all the way to episode nine of The Traitors, and fans are hoping she’ll continue her run for the grand prize. Throughout the game, she has formed alliances with fellow queer contestants, including Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause and wrestler Nikki Garcia. The trio, dubbed “The Bambis,” quickly became a fan favorite. However, Windey is now the only Bambi remaining in the competition.

    Known for her straight-talking approach, Windey has also become a force to be reckoned with on the show. When asked about her previous reality TV experience, Windey gave an iconic response: “I’m a lesbian now.” Her candidness and unfiltered humor have only added to her growing reputation as a queer icon.

    As Windey continues to make waves on The Traitors and beyond, it’s clear that her journey from reality TV contestant to LGBTQ+ role model is just beginning. Whether she’s cracking jokes about gender or using her platform to advocate for queer visibility, Gabby Windey has proven herself to be a true trailblazer.
